“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
— Mahatma Gandhi
This is the essence of authenticity: acting with integrity and staying true to yourself.
Contentment is authenticity; authenticity is contentment.
But what if we’re trapped in negative thought patterns? What if the first step on our journey toward authenticity begins with thoughts that wouldn’t bring us happiness if spoken aloud or acted upon?
That’s why the mission of Live Simply, Stay Salty is to dive deeply into self-development—disciplining the mind through yoga to gain control over our thoughts, and beginning the path to happiness with positive thinking before taking positive action.
Adjacent to the discipline of yoga is the art form of surfing, where we can explore the inner workings of our mind when challenging ourselves to flow with Mother Nature herself. One moment the ocean is calm; the next, her peaks are elevating you to intimidating heights. At times she’s fierce, other times inviting. Learning to adapt and overcome the mental barriers that prevent us from reaching a state of flow with her is exactly what we love about surfing. And of course, those fleeting moments when we are in perfect harmony with the rhythm of the ocean—that’s what we live for.
So join us on our journey to living authentically, guided by the discipline of yoga and the art form of surfing, as we seek joy within ourselves and in the simple beauty of life.
